At first glance, only one ocean borders California - The Pacific. However, the Pacific is sometimes considered 2 oceans, namely the North Pacific Ocean and the South Pacific Ocean. Nevertheless, they look like only a single ocean from the beach.
When I first visited this spot in San Diego, where the border meets the Pacific Ocean, in 1982, there was a single corrugated steel wall that ended at the top of the beach. Helicopters circled above, but it was still physically possible to walk straight into Mexico or vice-versa.
